People in chat (bug?)

[Dauphin]

It appears flash9286 is a permanent resident of the chatroom. I'm sure he was banned, and that he is not presently in the chat room - but for the past couple of hours its said that he is on the banner at the top of the screen. Does anyone else see his entry there or is it just me that see it?

Hm, that is strange. When you enter chat the number of people in chat is one too high. It's like he's invisible or something.

[Rasbelin]

Sagacious,

he's banned and also I can see his name. I guess it's a bug. Maybe he was banned while in the chatroom.

[loinburger]

I thought that being banned from posting doesn't necessary cause one to be banned from the chat room.

MarkG made an excpetion in this case. (as he was a DL?)

It's the 8th sign!!!! Dear god no!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!!

On topic or bye VENOM.

being banned disallows you from being able to leave messages in the chat room, but not from lurking in it...

So if you are banned and active in there, you can see what other people wrote, but if you aren't active your screen isn't updated?

I think if you are in the chat room your screen is updated, doesn't matter if you can post in it or not. By the way you don't need to be registerd or logged in to read the chat. That is one big plus of the new chat.

Can someone explain where those cute messages (right above peeps in the chatter room) come from, like TKG's "to hell with it"?

[Tuberski]

they are the last line entered in the chat room when your page was loaded.

sorry 'bout that, i was trying to get someone's attention, but i gave up and left, hence the "to hell with it"
